It's a top for Emily, made from some cotton baby rib and some recycled fabric from a favored pair of "cheetah" PJs (which I know some of you will recognize!). The pattern is QUIARA from Farbenmix, which I have made before and really like. The problem? The kitty's face. We all have different opinions on how to finish it. I was thinking maybe button eyes, but I couldn't find any buttons I liked. Evan likes it the way it is. And Emily thinks every little detail should be embroidered in. Any suggestions?

By the way, this shirt was the start of my Fall/Winter sewing! And if it's done, it's the first thing I finished on my Fall sewing list. Yay!
What about a bell on the neck? Hee hee! I think button eyes would be sweet but honestly it's really nice the way it is!
ReplyDeleteI can see why Emily wants the detailed embroidery (I can just see a cute kitty face), but I'm kinda digging it the way it is. I like the silhouette.
ReplyDeleteI say consider it done! :-)
LOVE! Such a cute shirt. I like the kitty just the way it is! But I can see a bit of embroidery would also be cute. :)

ReplyDeleteHa! I think a bell on the neck would be awesome, for about 5 minutes anyway before we all went crazy from it....
ReplyDeleteI think the final decision is leave it be...maybe next time do the kitty in a solid color and embroider that one. So I think this kitty shape will be reappearing soon!
